It's no wonder, then, that when a game appeared on PSN this Tuesday (as spotted by Eurogamer) offering to give up a Platinum trophy to players in as little as 20 minutes, it was promptly taken down by Sony.

Indie game '★★★★★ 1000 Top Rated' claimed to be "The World's Fastest Platinum Trophy Game", allowing users to net plat faster than most of us could feasibly make dinner.

The title, which appeared on the North American PS Store, cost just $0.98, and featured a series of mini-games where players were asked to slide tiles into the correct order – users could simply whip through these in order to earn a Platinum trophy.

Sony quickly removed the game from the store, and asked the developer to change its title as well as remove any mention of trophies in the description.

The fact that★★★★★ 1000 Top Rated made it to the store in the first place raises questions about how Sony conducts its vetting process.

Regardless, the game seems to have been a ploy to direct users to a site selling PS4 themes – the URL is included in the trailer and the images featured in the tile challenges are 4K wallpapers.
